Residential electricity prices and state support
The Egyptian Ministry of Electricity announced an increase in electricity tariffs by up to 12%, while maintaining the first tier's rate without any increase to protect low-income consumers. This adjustment comes as part of a reform of the electricity pricing system to cope with rising production costs, especially due to increases in fuel prices and operational and maintenance expenses. The goal is to ensure the sustainability of the electrical grid and to provide a stable and secure service to citizens. Government support continues as well, with the state bearing around 100 billion Egyptian pounds annually. The burden of electricity support grows with increased consumer consumption, with citizens contributing up to 88% in the highest tier. Government support amounts to nearly 620 pounds per bill in the top tiers, accompanied by a call for consumers to reduce their usage to maintain financial balance and sustainability.
